Halloween is not a thing in Delhi. We don’t do carved pumpkins or trick-or-treating or costumes. What we can do is low-key movie night. What’s so Halloween about that, you ask? Sunset Cinema will tell us.
What is it
Sunset Cinema Club Republic is screening the horror world’s coolest treasures over Halloween weekend. October 31 – November 2 will decide if you can brave the Grudge or if you need A Quiet Place. SCC creates immersive cinema experiences in 5 Indian cities. Rooftops, microbreweries, venues by the beach, bars, hotels and amphitheaters are all available for your next movie night. Imagine watching the scariest movie with bae, under the stars, where you’re more exposed to the spirits of the night. See, Halloween can be a thing.
About the venues
They’re hosting Halloween at two open air venues making perfect use of pre-winter weather. Peepal Tree is at Capital pride Akshara theatre. The outdoor movie theatre will allow people to occupy seats on first-come-first-served basis. It’s a beautiful location for Delhi’s plays, movies and artistic pursuits. Moreover, it’s literally under a peepal tree!
